It was just reported by a few local news outlets that Las Vegas area police officers are going to be pulling over drivers they see using their cell phones and/or texting while driving. While actual tickets will not be issued until the beginning of 2012, it will not be fun getting a warning. After all, they could find another infraction while you're getting their attention.Starting in January of 2012, the fines will be pretty strict, and we hear after your third offense in 7 years, it is possible you'll lose all driving priviliges. As far as we know, law enforcement, certain governmental workers, and utility workers may be exempt from the provisions. Also, you cannot get in trouble if using your phone while driving if you're reporting an emergency or if you're using an earpiece. More on this later!
